We Were Born to help the World, Not to Destroy it, Then Why we are Destroying the Environment?

What Is the Environment?

The environment is something you are very familiar with. It's everything that makes up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the earth—the air we breathe, the water that covers most of the earth's surface, the plants and animals around us, and much more.

In recent years, scientists have been carefully examining the ways that people affect the environment. They have found that we are causing air pollution, deforestation, acid rain, and other problems that are dangerous both to the earth and to ourselves.

There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need, but not for man’s greed.

Influenced

Environmental protection is influenced by three factors:

Environmental Legislation, Ethics And Education. Each of these factors plays its part in influencing national-level environmental decisions and personal-level environmental values and behaviors. For environmental protection to become a reality, it is important for societies to develop each of these areas that, together, will inform and drive environmental decisions.

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught, will we realize that we cannot eat money?

Environmental pollutionIntroduction

• Pollution is the addition to the ecosystem of something which has a detrimental effect on it. One of the most important causes of pollution is the high rate of energy usage by modern, growing populations.

• Different kinds of pollution are found. In this section we will discuss:

• Air Pollution.

• Water Pollution.

• Land Pollution.

Air Pollution• Air pollution is the accumulation in the atmosphere

of substances that, in sufficient concentrations, endanger human health or produce other measured effects on living matter and other materials. The six major types of pollutants are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, sulfur dioxide, and photochemical oxidants.

• Examples Noise Pollution.

Tobacco Smoke.

•Exhaust Gases of Vehicles

Acid rain

• Control Measures

• the establishment of more smokeless zones;

• control over the kinds of fuel used in cars, Aeroplanes, power stations, etc.

Water Pollution• Water pollution is the introduction into fresh or ocean waters of

chemical, physical, or biological material that degrades the quality of the water and affects the organisms living in it

• Examples of Water Pollution

• Industrial Effluents

• Mining and Agricultural Wastes

•

Sewage Disposal and Domestic Wastes

• Control Measures

• every intelligent people should be wise enough not to pollute water in any way;

• by research and legislation the pollution of water bodies, even though not entirely prevented, must be effectively controlled.

Land Pollution• Land pollution is the degradation of the Earth's land surface

through misuse of the soil by poor agricultural practices, mineral exploitation, industrial waste dumping, and indiscriminate disposal of urban wastes. It includes visible waste and litter as well as pollution of the soil itself.

• Examples of Land Pollution

• Soil Pollution

• Waste Disposal

Control Measures

The following measures can be used to control land pollution:

• anti-litter campaigns can educate people against littering;

• organic waste can be dumped in places far from residential areas;

• inorganic materials such as metals, glass and plastic, but also paper, can be reclaimed and recycled

How to help save the environment

• Run your air conditioner sparingly or not at all. Air conditioners use a great deal of electricity.

•Don't use electronic exercise

machines.

• Bring your own paper or cloth bags to the supermarket

•Recycle all you can.

•Avoid using disposable items

•Donate or share rather

than sending them to usable

household items a landfill

•Plant a tree.

•Reduce garbage

Our suggestions to save our Planet-Earth

Conserve water

Conserve energy

Grow more trees

Recycle the wastage

Ban the polythene

Use renewable resources

How can I save my earth

I will conserve water Use paper/jute bags instead of polythene won’t use of vehicles for small distances Dispose the solid waste properly Re cycle and reuse the paper and plastic Grow more trees It will help us to make our earth a

better place to live.
